Description
Animex, a meat and meat products production company, announced plans to create 150 new positions in its plant in Kutno.
The company is offering employment to former, laid-off Levi's employees affected by the factory closure in Płock; the intention of hiring new employees is ongoing. The company offers potential collective transport solutions due to the commute between the two locations. Animex offers training and career development programmes.
Animex, operating since 1951, is part of Smithfield and WH Group. It specialises in meat products and plays a significant role in Poland's food industry. The previous restructuring event of Levi's in Płock can be found here Levi Strauss & Co.-2024-PL.
